Journal ArticleDOI
A Heuristic Algorithm for the n Job, m Machine Sequencing Problem
TL;DR: A simple algorithm for the solution of very large sequence problems without the use of a computer that produces approximate solutions to the n job, m machine sequencing problem where no passing is considered and the criterion is minimum total elapsed time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Common Due Date Assignment to Minimize Total Penalty for the One Machine Scheduling Problem
TL;DR: A polynomial bound scheduling algorithm is presented for the solution of this problem along with the proof of optimality, a numerical example and discuss some extensions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Lessons of Flowshop Scheduling Research
TL;DR: The paper comments on NP-completeness, the selection of criteria for optimization, and the lack of applications of this work in industry, and draws some conclusions about the possible future of sequencing research and the lessons that this area's work has to teach the rest of operations research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal assignment of due-dates for a single processor scheduling problem
TL;DR: Scheduling procedure for the solution of the problem of given processing times of n jobs on a single machine with penalties for earliness and tardiness and penalties associated with assignment of due-dates is presented.
Book ChapterDOI
Sequencing Research and the Industrial Scheduling Problem
TL;DR: Types of industrial scheduling problems were investigated by personal visits to plants and by questionnaires mailed to scheduling departments and results indicate that most of the present procedures in theoretical research cannot handle average industrial problems.
